Chapter 877: The Ancestral Tomb Exploded
Liu Yu finally couldn't help it, and scolded: "As soon as I came back, I heard you complaining, don't you want me to enter this house?"
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Did I say it wrong? You are a big man......
Liu Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the idea of arguing, and turned around to leave.
It's good not to go, this time, Mrs. Liu is even more conscious and reasonable, she sprinkled in the house, and it is useless to count Liu Yu loudly, even the next door can hear it.
Liu Yu walked out of the house with his head down, squatted at the door of the house, took out a cigarette bag and pot and smoked dry tobacco silently.
Liu's voice came intermittently from inside the house.
A carriage passed by the door, but after a few steps it suddenly stopped.
Liu Yu heard the voice, turned his head to look, and saw a familiar person getting down from the carriage.
"Uncle Liu, I haven't seen you for many days, I heard that you are famous again?" a man in his thirties, dressed in a dark blue talent suit, walked over with a smile.
Liu Yu snorted and said, "What kind of tornado is this blowing, and it actually blew Rong Xiucai here." ”
Rong Xiucai was not angry, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, you have also seen those who are officials, and they don't take you seriously at all." If I were the county magistrate, I would definitely give you a landlord. But now, look at how many years you've lived in this house and haven't rebuilt it. ”
"If you have something to say, let it go!" Liu Yu said impatiently.
Rong Xiucai was still not angry, and said with a smile: "I guess, your second grandson is about to study, right? Alas, if Shi Yuan had gone to study in the Great Academy back then, he would probably have been a child this year. Belch...... Don't worry, I'll get down to business. The dean of Zhengzhi College has a good relationship with me and gives me two Mengtong recommendation places. I thought to myself, why don't you give it to your two grandchildren, what do you think?"
Liu Yu held the smoking pot. Sitting on the threshold and looking at Rong Xiucai.
The sun had just set in the evening, and in Liu Yu's eyes, Rong Xiucai's face was a little gray, but Rong Xiucai's eyes were exceptionally bright.
Zhengzhi Academy is a famous college in Ning'an County, Ning'an County admits about 120 children every year, and every year Zhengzhi Academy has never less than 20 new children, and the highest year even has 34 children, which has established the status of one of the three major academies in Ning'an County.
If his two grandchildren enter Zhengzhi Academy, they are very likely to pass the examination within five years. There is even a chance to become a showman.
After a while, Rong Xiucai smiled and said, "I hope you will join my workshop." I don't know how much your monthly salary is, but I can give you thirty taels a month! In the future, every time we add a workshop to our firm, we will give you at least ten taels of silver a month! This is the twelfth and last time I have invited you. ”
Liu Yu lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and showed a bright smile.
"I thought about it. You're too dirty for me to go. ”
The smile on Rong Xiucai's face disappeared, and he sneered: "Could it be that Old Man Liu, you have never done anything bad in your life?"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "I've done it, who hasn't done anything bad when I'm so old?" I didn't lose my heart, I still have a heart, you don't, this is the difference between the two of us. ”
"Liu Yu. You don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink. ”
The stubborn old man smiled and said, "I have eaten all my life, and I am not afraid to eat for a few more years." ”
"You...... I was so disappointed! It is a blasphemy against the skills of a craftsman to be wasted in a wasteland like a county-owned workshop!"
Liu Yu stopped smiling. looked at Rong Xiucai seriously and said, "Yes, you are right, the county's workshop was originally a wasteland, but now that someone has reclaimed that wasteland, crops will soon grow, and the longer it grows, the better, better than ever." ”
Rong Xiucai laughed and said, "Stubborn old man, it seems that you have also been deceived by that Fang Xusheng. He is an official, you are a citizen, he may risk offending countless officials, and help you civilians change the workshop? If he doesn't do this, what awaits him will be the backlash of the entire officialdom!"
"I don't know about officialdom, I only know that Fang Xusheng is better than all of you, better than every official!" Liu Yu slowly stood up.
Rong Xiucai blinked in surprise, Liu Yu was obviously shorter and older than himself, but when he got up, why did he feel like a mountain peak was rising?
"In that case, then I'll watch your children and grandchildren eat chaff and go to those private schools to study!" Rong Xiucai turned to leave.
"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other. Liu Yu said slowly.
"......Sneer" Rong Xiucai sneered, and was about to get into the carriage, when he suddenly heard suona and gongs and drums in the distance, looked at it casually, stopped, and looked there curiously.
There is a band of more than 60 people walking here, those people are wearing bright red robes, or playing suona, or beating big drums, or playing flutes, all kinds of musical instruments.
The song is the famous "Phoenix Terrace", which is generally only played when he is promoted, and these people are obviously the ceremonial band invited by the county government, and it seems that someone has been promoted.
"Get out of the way! Rong Xiucai hurriedly ordered the coachman to drive away the carriage and stood aside, ready to follow the band, wanting to see which nobleman was going to be promoted.
Liu Yu also looked ahead curiously and said, "Tsk, whose ancestral grave is smoking? This battle is really not small, and it is nothing more than a man who can raise people." ”
The band got closer and closer, and when they got closer, Liu Yu found that Fang Yun's Longma luxury car was actually behind the band, and there were a large number of private soldiers guarding it, followed by cavalrymen wearing black demon iron armor, and an extremely tall and sturdy barbarian private soldier.
"Obediently, let the dignified void saint come, where is the ancestral tomb smoking, this is simply the ancestral tomb exploded!" Liu Yudao.
Rong Xiucai was extremely surprised, and said: "No, there is neither a wealthy house nor a famous family in front of this road, and it is impossible for ordinary people to be promoted to send such a big battle, strange, could it be that a famous hermit was invited?"
"I can't say exactly. Liu Yu muttered quietly.
People on both sides of the road walked to the door to watch, and the people of the Liu family also ran out, stretched their necks and looked, talking while watching, envying the unknown official.
The band continued to move forward and soon passed in front of Liu's house, and after a while, the Longma luxury car appeared in front of Liu's house.
When the eighteen tall pure-blooded dragon horses appeared, even Rong Xiucai couldn't help but stop breathing, carefully observing the handsome and heroic dragon horses, attracted by the dazzling dragon scales, and his eyes were full of envy, this is a real pure-blood dragon horse that even Confucianism can't afford to use.
The carriage stopped in front of Liu's house, and the music suddenly stopped.
Rong Xiucai's complexion changed drastically, and the hair on his whole body stood up in fright.
As a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, Rong Xiucai knows very well that the band must not stop on the way to the march, and will only stop playing when it reaches the door of the promoted person.
When Fang Yun stepped out of the carriage with a smile on his face, Rong Xiucai's legs were weak and he almost knelt down.
Liu Yu and Fang Yun were very familiar, and when they saw Fang Yun coming down, they smiled and said: "Lord Fang, you are too polite, why don't you stop when you see me, you can go quickly, don't delay the big thing." ”
"Poof......" Ao Huang smiled and flew out of the car door. (To be continued......)
